Ken Davenport is rally doing something phenomenal. It seems he is the first major producer, or among the first, to produce a Broadway show funded by community investors. With median investments between $20-40, and demographics including priests, teachers, and truck drivers pitching in for Godspell. He is also the utilizing social media in real ways, [...]
Whitmer looks to define disassociation as a single-person endeavor, within the context of a relationship / interaction. The single-person model constructs disassociation as a defensive activity that limits exposure to developing Mind / mental strategies in the context of an other (e.g. Parent) who presents conflicting, confused, or (otherwise) subtly traumatizing presence of being. Whitmer [...]
There was a sight ( of some small bread made in a style) and a smell ( light but warm and bodied); and there’s a texture, and taste like flour. The kinds of fragments of a memory of a food that you never forget. In my vision: a man. A baker from an old kingdom; [...]
Balkunin is very concerned with ethical epistemology. Wherefrom Right was derived and its ownership (by the people) stand as core to his questions. The only kind of right is a natural break, which is itself a delicate shroud of one’s residence and accordance with natural law. The actions one takes in consonance with natural law [...]
Roger Ebert’s recent piece that challenges the presence of Art within games is wonderful.

Absinthe, a spirit of legend, has in recent years been revived under the banner of being neither a psychedelic nor a deliriant. True as those statements may be on the surface, I was pleased to discover an errata that may tie the fabled drink with more righteous roots. With all due respect to the reasons for concealment and the initiatory threshold, I offer in context this paragraph
There are qualities to walking step in step with fate.
Calmness permeates every arrival in the flow. It creates space into which unfolds the force of life present and waiting in each person and thing. The heart holds unwavering sensitivity for the entangled yet nonlocal complement. Calm listening allows every quiver and tension of the space around, within, to yield upon the true path.
@Hardaway today made another sincere dive into the US recessive trends. She draws light on words from a mentor of hers, who suggests that the resources and capabilities of North America show that we haven’t really ‘lost’ anything. I’ve heard the expression that “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.” When I originally heard [...]
In the absence of challenges, the portrayal of men does not leave any sense of the kingly qualities that man, at his fullest and most noble, is capable. What’s a girl to do if she already has the best mousetrap? Build a better mouse.
The performance itself was deeply inspiring. The troupe has done well to present some of the old face of China – or, at least, what a US person is likely to see as ancient Chinese arts.
